Package: network-manager-gnome Version: 0.9.6.4-1 Followup-For: Bug #666548
Hi, the same thing happened here, too. I left the laptop running at a spot with low wifi reception. Over night, nm-applet had opened a hundred passphrase prompts for the *same* wireless network. It took *ages* to close them, the CPU went up to 100% after each single window closing, taking seconds for the next one to be able to close. Furthermore, there apparently is an associated memory leak: 20 0 415m 173m 3076 S 0,0 8,6 18:42.38 nm-applet 173 MB resident for the network applet? That's crazy. Fortunately, I'm not using shell, so I can just kill the applet and restart it: 20 0 219m 13m 10m S 0,0 0,7 0:00.39 nm-applet Next time it goes haywire, I'll just kill it right away to get pack the precious memory right away. Anyway: 1) nm-applet should open at most *one* window asking for a passphrase at any time. 2) It should recognize when it managed to connect, and then close the window automatically 3) It would be nice to *not* ask for a passphrase when it has been verified before (i.e. connected successfully): if I change my passphrase, I'm fine with editing the connection. I don't want nm-applet to ask for the passphrase every time the wirless connection is bad! 4) The memory leak needs to be tracked down. For reproduction, I recommend reducing wireless signal quality to the point where the network starts disconnecting. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.utf8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages network-manager-gnome depends on: ii dbus-x11 1.6.8-1 ii dconf-gsettings-backend [gsettings-backend] 0.14.0-1 ii dpkg 1.16.9 ii gconf-service 3.2.5-1+build1 ii gnome-icon-theme 3.6.0-1 ii libatk1.0-0 2.6.0-1 ii libc6 2.13-37 ii libcairo-gobject2 1.12.6-1 ii libcairo2 1.12.6-1 ii libdbus-1-3 1.6.8-1 ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.100-1 ii libgconf-2-4 3.2.5-1+build1 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.26.4-2 ii libglib2.0-0 2.34.3-1 ii libgnome-bluetooth10 3.4.2-1 ii libgnome-keyring0 3.6.0-1 ii libgtk-3-0 3.6.1-1 ii libnm-glib-vpn1 0.9.6.4-1 ii libnm-glib4 0.9.6.4-1 ii libnm-gtk0 0.9.6.4-1 ii libnm-util2 0.9.6.4-1 ii libnotify4 0.7.5-1 ii libpango1.0-0 1.30.1-1 ii network-manager 0.9.6.4-1 ii policykit-1-gnome 0.105-2 Versions of packages network-manager-gnome recommends: ii gnome-bluetooth 3.6.0-1 ii iso-codes 3.40-1 ii libpam-gnome-keyring [libpam-keyring] 3.6.1-1 pn mobile-broadband-provider-info <none> ii notification-daemon 0.7.6-1 Versions of packages network-manager-gnome suggests: pn network-manager-openconnect-gnome <none> ii network-manager-openvpn-gnome 0.9.6.0-1 pn network-manager-pptp-gnome <none> ii network-manager-vpnc-gnome 0.9.6.0-1 -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
